Your workaround is the correct answer. You must strip out the printer-specific information before it will honor you setting the printing. Otherwise, it thinks it is smarter than you and sends it to the printer defined in the report.

FWIW .. in VFP 8 there's a checkbox that lets you turn off the annoying behavior of saving printer information with the report.
